Who can use this
A signed-in account with Reader tools.
Before you start
Use only the tools that help you. Saving an ordinary Book does not require ARC participation, and private reading notes never become public Reviews automatically.
Steps
- Start from your shared Home and open Discover Books.
- Choose Want to Read on a Book to add it to My Reading, then manage your shelf, manual progress and private notes.
- Use Write an honest Review for a separate public opinion with spoilers and relationship disclosures.
- Open Community or Clubs for discussions and participation that your membership permits.
- When you want an advance copy, browse ARC opportunities and apply only after reading the campaign requirements.
- Use ARC Hub → Applications for requests, Reading for approved copies, and Feedback for private responses. Public Reviews are optional and never required to be positive.
What happens next
Your private reading, independent public Reviews, Community participation and protected ARC activity stay connected without being confused with each other.
Common problems
- No ARC access appears.
- An application is not approval. Check the decision, access state and deadline for the exact campaign.
- An old bookmark opens another area.
- Use My Reading for ordinary saved Books and ARC Hub for campaign commitments. Existing saved records are not deleted by a navigation change.
